Voices from the Merry Cemetery, composed by Shaun Davey

[guine51]

Le timbre de voix de Rita est exceptionnel sur la musique de Shaun (+Liam).Grande émotion!

[crisprofa]

The author's musical intelligence and sensitivity to the messages found at Sapanta, as expression of the pastoral Romanian culture, created an hymn dedicated to mothers and motherhood! Rita Connolly's voice is exceptional as was in the concert as well. Congratulations for this success!

Vocile din Cimitirul Vesel: Stan Ileana

Aici mă odihnesc Stan Ileană mă numesc, am trăit treişopt de ani.

Pe lume cât am trăit şase coconi am avut.

Fără mamă au crescut şi milă mi-a fost de ele.

C-o rămas orfane iele.Cea mai mic-o ţâneam în braţă.

Ş-am lăsat-o în viaţă cea mai mic-o

tîneam în braţe,

tîneam în braţe.

What a beautiful song! The Romanian folklore has roots in ancient times. Great Romanians like George Enescu (music composer) and Constantin Brancusi were inspired by it. I am grateful that I have been born in this beautiful culture.

Greeting from Los Angeles!

love it !

Shaun and Rita are the best. Unfortunately only people with the taste for the contemporary classical music are able to value their creativity, it's too free of stereotypes.

I sang in the romanian choir in this project at St. Patrik's Cathedral and'll like to say that is was wonderfull. in this romanian song, Rita is singing an epitaph from merry cemetery about a young woman who died very young

Uau...ce fain suna!..incredibil!

Agreed to richardhalo there ....losing the common sense of tradition and simple beauty is, and has been happening in Ro. for some time now...it is realistically ...sad!

[richardhalo]

Sse pare ca strainii pretuiesc mai mult decat noi valorile si traditiile noastre. Ca si dovada ceea ce a compus Shaun Davey.Impresionant dar in acelasi timp si dureros... vin altii sa ne zica: Be,y uite ce cultura a!i Si sa nu ne fie pic de rusine? Cume e cantecul :"[...] nici ca-mi pasa[...]". Eh, asta e,probabil ca ne meritam conditia si soarta ca tara, la cat de ignoranti suntem.

It took me a couple of minutes to realise she was singing in Roamanian. At first i thought it was as Gaeilge and I was trying to understand it... very good rendition of Romanian, I must say, go raibh maith agaibh !

[completelyyoung]

@TinneasAnama Do you speak Gaeilge and Romanian as well ?

[TinneasAnama]

@completelyyoung Indeed I do :)

[completelyyoung]

[PhalainaBelgium]

[MissAnna75]

Multumesc.....a fost o iniziativa minunata.

Au trebuit ca strainii sa vina sa pretuiasca si sa dea importanta ce marita "Cimitirului vesel"

Bravo lor
